I've inherited an Aga and an oil-fired stove, both fitted with vapourising burners. Over the last few years I've been teaching myself how to service them (and it's been a bit frustrating at times).
Now I hear (on BBC Radio 4) that many people with vapourising burners are having problems with excessive soot because of a recent EU directive reducing sulphur content in kerosene. This would help to explain some of the problems I've been having.
Is there anything I can do to lessen the problem (for example by using an additive)? Changing the appliances is not affordable in the short or medium term.
Can anyone point me to a reliable source of information on maintaining these devices, so that I can improve my knowledge?
